🌈 Mango Rainbow tasting table-2: what's the taste of that Mango variety?

We've had another mango tasting table and asked participants to describe the taste in a few words. And this is what we got:

• 🟠 Haden - mild, melting, classic heavenly mango flavor,dark yellow flesh, almost fiberless.
• 🟠 Ugly Betty - opposite to the name, the taste is excellent , juicy, melting, sweet.
• 🟠 Cotton Candy
  - true candy, fiberless, sweet, melting.
• 🟠 Madame Fransis - dark orange pulp, slightly fibrous, robust, meaty like a steak, good with cognac. A little pulpy but unique flavor.
• 🟠 Diamond - bright yellow, fiberless, sugary, juicy, no pulp at all, classic mango taste, good with ice cream, "wow" taste!
• 🟠 Pickering - zesty, waterfall: all the flavors come at once, eat with White wine and/or a cake. Oval fruit somewhat flat, very large for a dwarf tree!
• 🟠 Baptiste - hint of citrus, melts in your mouth, dark orange flesh, crisp, eat with Red wine and cheese.
• 🟠 Florigon - creamy, buttery, spicy. Eat with Ice cream!
• 🟠 Tommy Atkins - has a bit zing to it, perfect consistency, perfect taste. Super colorful, crimson red to purple skin!
• 🟠 Nam Doc Mai
  - gold standard! Perfect every day.
• 🟠 Carry - tastes even better than all others, smooth buttery, lite!
